Maybe. I guess it depends on the year. It seems somewhat common for backups to take the job. Maybe that's just Canada.
And Russia, I seem to recall. Remember Sorokin and Samsonov. Finland did that to me as well back in 14/15 with Saros. We often overlook goalies from Czechia, Germany, Switzerland, Slovakia, and Austria in favor of the backups from Canada, US, Sweden, Finland, and Russia.
Last year Hane from got Cerebral 10 points (mostly from those relegation games). Luca Hollenstien from Switzerland went undrafted and would have recorded 4 points, the same as Spencer Knight who was a first round pick last year (I know I drafted him in the second round this year so I am a little hypocritical here). Heck that even after he went undrafted in 2019 and put up 8 points (2 wins and 2 shutout) and would have been tied for the lead in goalie points with
Cayden Primeau and Pyotr Kochetkov (a back up who took the starting job from Daniil Tarasov).
I think there are plenty of goalies to be had out there and that isn't a reason why we should not at least consider expanding. It just means we have to consider whether we want to risk waiting on goalies and having to choose between a backup stealing a job or a non major teams goalie or selecting a goalie early and hoping for risk potentially losing out on a skate.
